Meet Dana Apple, a Dream Vacations franchise owner from Simi Valley, California and owner of her very own home-based travel business, Dapple Destinations. Dana enjoys various aspects of being her own boss, including the freedom to set her own schedule, the opportunity to travel the world, and being available to spend time with her family as much as she wants.
Dana takes full advantage of Dream Vacations’ customer service team and the incredible support she receives. She credits it for much of her success as a Dream Vacations travel franchise business owner. “The service desk is the best!” says Dana. “I’m calling them constantly with just simple little questions. Questions that I don’t have time to read in the manual or try to find on my own. A simple call to HQ and they walk me through whatever problem I’m having.”
Dream Vacations offers a mentorship program for its franchise owners to ensure you have all the knowledge and resources you need to build a successful travel business. A year after starting her very own home-based travel business, Dana was paired with a mentor. “He’s been fantastic,” says Dana. “It’s nice to have a good friend that’s got your back and he’s happy to help.”
